Partner with client stakeholders across production, operations, and digital to validate use cases and shape transformation roadmaps

Act as the solution architect during early stages of pursuits, defining MVP scope, partnering with technology providers, and articulating business value

Drive local market engagement with operators, technology vendors, and OEMs to strengthen EY’s brand and uncover new collaboration opportunities

Collaborate with internal delivery and capability teams to co-develop toolkits, deployment blueprints, and accelerators for field implementation

Support proposal development, alliance activation, and client presentations as the technical voice behind production operations offerings

Provide delivery handoff and early oversight to ensure continuity of vision, scope, and stakeholder alignment

Skills and attributes for success

Strong knowledge of onshore oil and gas production systems, artificial lift methods, surveillance workflows, and field-level execution constraints

Ability to think holistically across people, process, data, and technology to design next-generation production operating models

Practical understanding of field data systems, edge analytics, and real-time monitoring platforms

Familiarity with digital solutions in the onshore space such as autonomous wells, remote ops centers, AI-driven lift optimization, and digital twins

Strong communication and storytelling skills with the ability to tailor technical insights for business and field audiences

Client-facing experience in shaping or selling transformation programs in the oil and gas sector

Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving client environments

To qualify for the role, you must have

A bachelor’s degree in petroleum engineering, mechanical engineering, or related technical discipline

6–10 years of experience in upstream oil and gas production operations, with a strong focus on onshore unconventional assets

Direct experience working for or with oil and gas operators on production improvement, asset optimization, or digital transformation programs

Exposure to cross-functional collaboration across production operations, digital technology, supply chain, and maintenance

Demonstrated experience in shaping and defining solutions for operational efficiency or digital enablement

Ideally, you’ll also have

Experience engaging with technology providers (e.g., AVEVA, C3.ai, Cognite, SLB, Honeywell) in shaping production optimization or monitoring solutions

Consulting experience or involvement in multi-disciplinary transformation projects

Familiarity with LOE optimization, ESG-related production constraints (e.g., methane management, flaring), and emissions performance reporting

A strong professional network within upstream oil and gas operators or the oilfield technology ecosystem
